told the governor if he had
waited in Chicago until this evening he
could have brought many more names
down. The governor replied: 81 am glad
you did not wait, for must, in justice to
these men, decide the question before me
very soon. 1t will not do TO delay much
longer" The governor asked the gentle
men u number of questions, and seemed
lesirous to learn everything about the case
and the feelings of the citizens of Chicago
that they could tell him.
Captain Black left for Chicago at 8
O'Clock tonight, leaving Schilling in charge.
No decision is expected from the governor
TO night. Captain Black has doubtless
gone to Chicago to use all his power with
Parsons to induce him to sign a petition to
the governor.
